These Keto Chocolate Almond Clusters combine amazing chocolate, with almonds and sea salt to give one amazing keto friendly chocolate treat.
Low Carb Keto Chocolate Almond Clusters
Chocolate is a weakness for me, I have loved amazing and good chocolate for as long as I can remember. One thing I love to enjoy is Hershey‘s bar with almonds. Oh my are they good! Buuuuutttt they are so not keto friendly.
I had to come up with something chocolate and keto friendly that would give me what I was wanting when ever the craving would hit me. Bring on these amazing Keto Chocolate Almond Clusters!
Even though I know how to make chocolate bars, I wanted the focus to be on the almonds because that is a healthier option. It is also much lower in carbs with out losing the flavor when there is more almonds then chocolate. This Keto Chocolate Almond Clusters recipe is one of my favorite easy and low carb chocolate desserts. Yes I count chocolate bars as desserts, they are my favorite! 🙂

The secret to making these Chocolate Almond Clusters is the sea salt. I watched an episode of good eats where he explains why salty and sweet go together so well I tend to want to add salt to my sweets. This helps to bring out the sweet flavors and mask some of the bitter flavors.
The mix of salty with sweet and the almonds gives such an amazing flavor. If you do not normally like dark chocolate because it is so bitter compared to milk chocolate, adding the salt will trick your taste buds into thinking you are eating a sweeter chocolate.
To make this a keto friendly chocolate treat, you need to use a low carb chocolate. Personally I like the Lily’s Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips. You can also make these Keto Almond Clusters using Ghirardelli Chocolate Intense Dark Squares or Green & Black’s Organic Dark Chocolate.
How Many Almonds in a serving?
A typical serving of Almonds is roughly 23 almonds, or a 1/4 cup. When making these almond clusters you want to have 11- 12 almonds per cluster. You will end up with 16 Almond clusters with this recipe.
You can make the clusters smaller and adjust the carb count for how big yours are. I personally like to have a bigger treat. 🙂

How to Make Keto Chocolate Almond Clusters

I am literally drooling just looking at these! Making them ASAP
Marilynne says
I was excited to try these since they looked so easy to make. I used a bag of Lily’s chocolate chips and melted them 30 seconds at a time. They didn’t melt very well and started to smell burnt so I stopped microwaving and added the 2 cups of roasted almonds. It would not coat the almonds the way your photos showed. I had to throw the whole batch out. I then started over and melted them slowly on the stovetop. The Lily’s chips really didn’t melt very well. What am I doing wrong? If they had turned out like yours I would be thrilled. Thanks

It could be your microwave, if you have issues with them melting add a little bit of coconut oil to them then melt them. You can also use a dark chocolate low in carbs to make them as well.
Anne Marie St Laurent says

Stephanie says

Made these today. The Lily’s chocolate melted beautifully in a low temp, makeshift double boiler. They are delicious. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Melissa says
These were fantastic! I did add a pinch of coconut oil to the melting chocolate to smooth it out and what a turn-out! These snacks are exactly what I was looking for!! Minimal ingredients and so easy! thanks!
Gloria says
Absolutely delicious! I can’t believe I’ve been purchasing these almond clusters my entire life! I made your recipe today and the Lily’s baking dark chocolate melted beautifully! I popped it in the microwave and heated it 30 seconds at a time.
Perfect for keto and for anyone craving a rich, sweet, slightly salty treat! Thank you!’
Tracy says
Worked beautifully. I only had to melt in microwave 2 thirty second intervals. I had to add a bit more almonds as my package of chocolate chips was 9 oz. I used Lily’s semi sweet (no sugar) chips
Judy Johnson says
These were great I used baked believe dark chocolate chips from Walmart they were out of Lillys. Thanks for sharing satisfying my sweet tooth.
Danielle says
So good and easy! I used the homemade double boiler method to melt the chocolate. So happy I found your recipe! I will definitely be putting this in my sweet treat rotation!
